[The Jersey Journal] Bishop Mark Beckwith and members of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark marked the end of a six-day, 80-plus mile pilgrimage across the entire diocese yesterday with a service of thanksgiving at Pier A Park in Hoboken.

"Joining Jesus on the Journey: A river-to-river pilgrimage across NJ" started at the Delaware River in Belvidere on Monday.

Dozens of northern New Jersey Episcopalians took part in the journey – some walking the entire way, while others joining for portions of the walk. Additional members provided meals and services to the walkers along the way.
